EMB #218: Tics and Lyme Disease 2


Today we have another brand new topic and new guest as I interview Dr. Rebecca Risk on Lyme Disease. This is a topic I haven’t heard much about and as you’ll hear Dr. Rebecca mention, it’s only just starting to become a topic the general public knows about. She’ll tell you about her story, how she dealt with Lyme herself for 14 years, which why she is in the position she is today, in helping others improve their health.

Who is Dr. Rebecca Risk?

Dr. Risk partners with her patients to help them achieve infinite health.

    Very informative and it is great that we can listen to them on-line as it is not always convenient to hear the live show. Dr. Risk is an excellent person to be sharing her wealth of knowledge about Lyme Disease and Treatments, etc. Keep up the great work.
